#drarry fandom fest

[hd-cluefest]

Pssst. 🕵️‍♂️ We're now taking prompts for H/D ClueFest!

ClueFest is an anonymous Drarry fest celebrating the mystery genre in all its forms. You can find the full rules and guidelines here.

We're really excited to see what prompts you come up with! Here's a quick reminder of the rules around prompting:

As this is a Mystery fest, prompts should include a question. There's also a space for you to include any potential squicks or triggers for writers to take into consideration before gifting you any fics based on your prompt. 

Fest pieces don't have to be casefics, but they do need to include an element of mystery, for example:

a crime 

a disappearance

a family secret

a hidden identity

a missing object

a conspiracy

lost memories

Prompting will be open until 15th December 2020 so there's still time to split up and look for clues. 🔎

Self-prompting or podfic:

Self-prompting and podfics are very welcome

Please don't submit these through the prompting form

There'll be an option on the claiming form to submit self-prompts

For podfics, please email us with the fic you're thinking of podficcing so we can verify that it fits the theme.

Claiming:

Opens 1st December 2020

Each prompt can be claimed once for fic and once for art

ClueFest Claims briefing, December 1st 2020: 

Gather up you Aurors, Private Eyes, sleuths, and overly inquisitive neighbours!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve received reports of a number of mysteries and strange events (ranging from suspicious activity and vanishing furniture to skullduggery and murder) and its up to you to solve them.

Cases will be assigned on a first-come-first served basis, and we expect a full report of at least 1000 words, or some substantial visual or audio evidence, to be submitted by the 15th of February.

A quick reminder of the rules:

The fest is anonymous. Don’t tell anyone outside of your alpha/beta readers which prompt you’ve claimed. 

Each prompt can be claimed once for fic and once for art. We'll send you an email once youce claimed confirming which prompt weve marked you down for - please check this is correct and drop us an email to confirm.

Collaborations are welcome — you can claim as a team/partnership.

Self-prompts are also welcome, you can submit these via the claiming form.

We also accept podfic of fics that fit the theme of the fest - there’s a form for that down below.

Claiming closes 1st of January 2021.

About your work:

The minimum wordcount for fic is 1000.

We haven’t set a maximum number of alpha/beta/cheerleaders but please be reasonable (more Famous Five or Scooby Gang than the entire Ministry of Magic)

If you’re requesting alpha/beta/cheerleaders in a public space (e.g. The Drarry Discord server) don’t include details that might give away which work is yours. We can post a request on your behalf if needed.

All fics must be beta read. If you have trouble finding a beta reader, let us know and we can ask around for you.

Works will be submitted to our AO3 collection. If you don’t have an AO3 account get in touch, we have a few invites available.

There’s no obligation to gift your fic/art to your prompter, but you can if you want to (but please don’t if your work includes things your prompter listed as a squick/trigger).

Need to drop out? That’s fine, just please let us know as soon as possible.

Need an extension? Get in touch, and let us know how long you think you need. We’ll see what we can do.

The full rules are available here.

Our claiming form for fic and art (including self-prompts) can be found here.

And the entry form for podfic is here.

If you have any questions or run into problems with the forms, you can get in touch at [email protected] :)

Want to take on a case? Submit your claim details here. 

Thank you to everyone who’s submitted a claim so far - there’s been much screaming and excitement in the Mod chat over the great prompts that have been snapped up and we can’t wait to see what you do with them. There’s still plenty of prompts available for both fic and art, and only two weeks of claiming left... a little tiny peek at a claims list never hurt anybody, right? Take a look. ;)
